AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pivot3, a pioneer and innovator in the development of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions, today announced that it won the Hyperconverged Product of the Year Award at the 2016 Storage Awards (the Storries XIII) based on votes cast by readers of Storage Magazine.
Pivot3 was recognized at an awards ceremony on June 16, 2016 at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London attended by more than 400 industry innovators and thought leaders. Readers of Storage Magazine cast over 50,000 votes for their favorite products, people and companies.
“Pivot3’s architecture is fundamentally different than other hyperconverged solutions because it provides storage efficiency, data protection and guaranteed performance to mission-critical applications with VM-level Quality of Service – something other vendors can’t offer,” said Andy Hill, area vice president, Europe. “We’re honored to see this recognized by Storage Magazine’s readers, which further validates the high-performance solutions we bring to market.”
